Current pet peeve...

It's Friday night here. That means I know I'll wake up to my neighbor's mowing the grass at 7:00 am. Yep, on a Saturday... I know it's hot here but really... 7:00 am

I'm so with you on this on... I don't care how hot it is, 7:00 a.m. on a Saturday is unacceptable in my book! I always get irritated because I get woken up by the lawn service my neighbor is paying for :cursing: Why would you pay someone to mow your grass at an ungodly hour on the weekend?? I just don't get it.
 
I am one who shares things that catch my eye on facebook. Simple reason... my husband follows my facebook posts. He doesn't look at what I post on Pinterest. When I see a recipe I think he'd like I'll share it so he can cook it. Several friends and family members always end up reposting the ones I share, so I know not everyone is bothered by them. ;) Also, I get totally freakin' overwhelmed every time I go on to Pinerest. I have a zillion different boards with about 10 zillion different pins and I can never find what I want when I want it. My pins are unorganized because it is so hard to go from category to category in the app I use on my tablet. I just put everything that catches my eye in one category now and I can never find anything. I pin everything I like. I only share things I want to make ASAP.

Anyway, I have way too many pet peeves right now. LOL
 
Local government officials who change up traffic ordinances or bus/jeep stops suddenly, with no warning. Seriously. I always feel like telling them to do a typical daily commute so THEY can see how freaking horrible commuting in Manila is.
 
My current one... When I go through a drive-thru to get a diet coke and they hand the cup to me with coke all down the sides. Seriously it takes what, 6 seconds to wipe the cup off before you hand it to me?? I always ask for a napkin and wipe it off in front of them. Otherwise my cup holder gets all nasty and sticky.

I am assuming you are serious, because I am honestly usually like this too! I think its just that time of the month making me irate. LOL!

I wish I were more like you in that regard, but I admit my statement was made in jest. Not to say that I'm normally clouds and thunderstorms, but as I've aged, I've become more critical ... and with that, my threshold for annoyance has been lowered. I have to conscientiously stop myself from being that way. I guess it's good that I have some self-awareness about it, but it still is what it is.

hahaha kcb is feisty tonight!!

My pet peeve today isn't really true a "pet peeve," but I'm so irked by it that I'm going to share. i am SO sick of lousy customer service. I actually hung up on a CSR for a company I called today because he was making me so mad. I couldn't even form words to speak to the man. Then tonight, we were at the mall and ran into a store manned by a teenage girl who had NO business being in charge of a retail establishment. She was SO rude, didn't have a clue what she was doing, and made it clear that we were bothering her.

So yeah, I'm over customer service types today. LOL

Customer service from LG. LIfe is NOT good with LG. If are looking to buy something DO NOT buy from LG. Their customer service is HORRIBLE! When you call their 1800 #, you are taken overseas where no one speaks English without a strong accent. It was so bad this last time that I POLITELY asked if I could speak to someone else without an accent. Every question he asked me, I had to ask "what?" "say that again" "I am having a hard time understanding what you are saying". His response to my question????? He hung up on me. :cursing: I have no words for how horrible LG's customer service is.

this is after fighting LG to return our first washer and dryer because it didn't work The manager of Fry's Electronic (where we bought it) was speechless over the treatment I received. He actually had me talk to them while I was on speaker phone on his phone. He could.not get over how rude they were.

Sears has stopped carrying LG for that reason.

Sooo, my pet peeve? LG.
 
Right now it would be parents who think their kids are angelic and you otherwise....clearly a disconnect that I can never understand!
 
Ignorant and insensitive people drive me mental..., until I had Jack I wasn't aware how many there were in the world, but it seems everytime we go out someone has something to say or a disapproving look...

Jack is four and he's autistic, he doesn't speak but sings and babbles loudly, puts his hands over his ears to block out stimulus, and in worse cases when very upset or troubled he screams and flaps his arms, or when excited he squints and has motor twitches.

Yet we have had people ask if we can't control him, told us that we shouldn't bring him out if he's not "normal", stand in front of us in the supermarket with their hands over their ears....honestly the depth of ignorance is astounding.

When we mentioned this to his school teachers recently, they suggested we get him a T Shirt with "I am Autistic" printed on it, so people would know why he acts the way he does...

I couldn't help it, I said so where are the T shirts saying "I am an ignorant cretin"...

Now I just ignore these people, they deserve neither my time or attention, however I do despair sometimes at what the world seems to be coming to....
